Crawley goalscorer Nick Tsaroulla fought back tears as he spoke about his magical FA Cup moment.

The Bristol born 21-year-old scored a brilliant opener as Reds beat Leeds United 3-0 in the FA Cup.

Tsaroulla was let go by Tottenham and Brentford’s B team in recent years.

Reminded of tougher times by BBC interviewer Emma Saunders, Tsaroulla could not hold back tears.

He said: “I’m getting a bit emotional now. It has been tough, that means a lot.”

Tsaroulla trained for six weeks with Crawley before being handed a one-year deal.

Today’s goal was his first in senior football.
